Ants Bugging Southern U.S.

An invasive and aggressive species of ant, red imported fire
ants plague homeowners during
the summer. Although they seem to disappear during
dry spells, the ants are actually underground out of the
heat.

Fire
ants are more dangerous than other species because they have a
very potent sting. People who have known sensitivities to insect
stings should be extremely cautious around fire ants.

While fire ants have outcompeted native ant species, they are
currently competing with a new invasive species, crazy ants. This
new pest is half as small as a fire any and may be more difficult
to treat.
